PL/SQL spatial query will not compile.

Question

I have a PL/SQL spatial query that will not compile, but the equivalent SQLPlus query works fine. I.e. (convert decimal degrees to degrees,minutes,seconds)
Any thoughts much appreciated....
THIS WORKS in SQLPlus
select
decode(rownum,1,decode(sign(b.column_value),-1,'W','E'),2,decode(sign(b.column_v
alue),-1,'S','N'))| |
to_char(abs(trunc(b.column_value,0)),'999')
| |to_char(abs(trunc((b.column_value - trunc(b.column_value,0)) * 60,0)),'99')
| |to_char(abs(
(((b.column_value - trunc(b.column_value,0)) * 60) - trunc((b.column_value - tru
nc(b.column_value,0)) * 60,0)) * 60
),'99.99')
from route_location a, table(a.line.sdo_ordinates) b
where a.route_adms_id = 13820370
and record_seq_num = 26
and rownum < 3
BUT THIS DOES NOT

try a
FOR UPDATE OF ID NOWAIT;where ID is the name of a column in the table.
